Looking to see if anyone has a source or way to figure out where I can get more of these threaded chamfer or countersink bits for this tool. Bought at a swap meet and has no brand markings at all. I love the tool but the bits are dull and I need to replace them. Thanks in advance.

My Mill was set up for 500rpm for steel. This weekend I swapped pulleys to speed it up to 3000rpm and now the mill shuts off just as the Rpm increases. It is a 110v unit and I’ve run it off a 15amp power strip all along. I have not tried plugging it directly into a higher 20amp outlet yet. Any...

How would I connect a good ground clamp to the lathe setup if I intend to use it for welding tubing? Thank you

Anyone use the new format Mach3 software from Physics anonymous? I have it with my new to me CNC mill and I'm trying to get it to jog with the controller but not getting any response. I'm not that familiar with the new program so any tips on setting up the new mill with it? I may have to upload...

Needed a way to chamfer the edges on multiple aluminum parts and wasn't able to clamp each one down and chamfer by hand so I made this vise mounted router table base plate. Much easier, faster and safer to get multiple parts done.

What's the safest procedure to swap all 4 wheels/tires on a steep driveway. I'm assuming using wheel chocks to keep the front wheels from rolling once the rear wheels are off the ground? I like to do both rears at once by lifting under the differential (non IRS car). and do the fronts one side...

Going through my vintage tool section to decide what to use or restore or get rid of. These are some of my small ratchets (1/4 -3/8) drive. Some Plomb, indestro and snap on… not sure on the others.

So I normally toss the piece in the scrap pile if I bend the steel tubing too far, but was wondering if anyone had a good technique for adjusting a bend that is 3-5 degrees over. Material is mild steel and I don't mind heating it if needed. Any ideas other that clamping in a vise and muscling...

Anyone using a smaller air compressor to power their hydraulic tubing bender? My large compressor is not connected yet at the new space and I have a couple of tubing projects that I need to start. I have a small Husky portable compressor (1.5gal tank) that I was thinking about rigging up for a...

Thought you guys would like this. I had watched a bunch of Youtube vids of people who had upgraded their parts washers and this is what I settled on for mine. Happy with how it turned out. I'm setting up a new home shop for machining and metal fabrication and this will be nice addition to it.
